Whatever happened to the rodeo clown that had his face crushed during a rodeo in Wise County?

I learned something this week about Mrs. LL: She will scream and run away from a spider but will walk up to a snake sunning on the lake shore to take a closer look.

Speaking of the lake, I can't catch anything. Last year I was slaying it. Now I can't get a bite. The lake is 100% clearer than it was last year so maybe my Jimmy Houston techniques of last year might not be applicable.

Trump went Full Trump this weekend immediately after the London terrorists attacks. The mayor of London made a statement and Trump couldn't understand it.

And Barron was so traumatized by Kathy Griffin that Trump spent this weekend golfing in Virginia. (I was traumatized by her Friday press conference because it was so wheels off.)

I'll always be more fearful of driving to work amongst idiots than being killed in a terrorist attack. And I'm 100% right.

This picture of Dallas yesterday afternoon was floating around. Not photoshopped.

"I'll always be more fearful of driving to work amongst idiots than being killed in a terrorist attack. And I'm 100% right."

Yep. Also: any hick cop or local DA having a bad day is a bigger threat to our freedom than any terrorist.

"Breaking: We've got a mass shooting in Orlando this morning. "

But good thing we're not having a debate about guns with Trump.

I'm going to break my protocol and directly address Wordkyle, instead of just making fun of him: The terrorism in London is home-grown, by British citizens. The one named attacker of the latest attack was a British citizen, radicalized by an American Muslim Cleric.

And we have more gun deaths of toddlers in the US in a year, or shooting deaths in a week, than they have in a year related to terrorism. And of course, the most deaths in the UK by terrorists were caused by the IRA and its various spin-offs (i.e.: white people). In America, unsecured guns and mental illness are a far greater cause of deaths than any terrorist act, including 9/11, and you can even throw in Pearl Harbor. Hell, go as far back as the USS Maine, and white and black Americans with guns still kill more people than terrorism ever has.

When the attacks that occurred in London start happening in the US (for the sake of argument we're going to ignore things like Oklahoma City and the almost daily school and mass shootings that already occur), they will come with assault weapons and there will be vastly more killed. And it won't simply be because we have more open borders--the UK has had open EU borders for years, and we still have more senseless killings than they do. The death toll in London was so low simply because they had no access to weapons that could kill more people.

People like Wordkyle can cloak their racism and bigotry behind some travel ban (which does not include the most dangerous countries, the country where most 9/11 terrorists came from, or any country where Trump has a property) or fear of radical Islam all they want, but it's still just racism and bigotry. I live in one of the most diverse cities in the country, and we have had exactly zero terrorist attacks here. Current vetting of immigrants works far more often than not, and the price of a free society is some level of security. I would much rather we put our efforts into stopping the daily killing of dozens of Americans than in the infrequent killing by a few by terrorists. Those are already being addressed.

Given the number of accidental deaths in cars every day, BG's comment was spot on. Your mealy-mouthed response is, as is usual for you, empty.

I'm glad you're limited to the panhandle. You can't influence anyone of import and can't spread your BS to anyone who probably isn't already full of it anyway.

The whole world needs to be alarmed. Look at all of the "refugees" that Europe took in last year. They said that it was mostly families, but every time I saw any pictures they were mostly young men about 20-30 years old. Didn't see too many women or children.

All of our PC culture is going to get a lot of people killed. We are too worried about offending these people. If 90 - 95% of the terrorist acts are committed by people of one certain religion, then we do need to be watching that religion closely.

If the same of true of, say, the Baptists, then we better be watching FBC Decatur closely!

"Saturday was the most violent day in New Orleans this year. A total of 13 people were shot in Saturday's 24-hour span. According to New Orleans crime analyst Jeff Asher, that made it the most violent day in New Orleans in 2017, topping the previous high of 8 people shot in one day."

"A disgruntled former employee shot and killed five people at an Orlando, Florida, business Monday morning before killing himself, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said."

Tossing a lot of support behind radical Islam today I see. I still can't figure out why you libs support Islam so strongly after a terrorist attack and why you wish to use said attack as a reason to take away my 2nd amendment rights!

Our tech companies and social media companies need to step up and refuse to cater to radicals from any religion or entity. Shut down the radical Islam accounts for God's sake. Also kill all the white supremacist, alt right and black lives matter stuff. Social media should not be a platform for hate.

-You are correct on the Kathy Griffin press conference!-Whatever happened to the Rodeo Clown who wore the Obama mask?-Pretty good point on the crazy idiot drivers. -Ernest T is Exactly Right.-Pretty sure that's the fake Rage commenting. No one could be that dumb.

Living without fear of a terrorist attack is a luxury that we Americans, at the present moment, can afford. Terrorism is expanding worldwide, primarily due to one group, so much so that the London mayor indicated that in large cities terrorist threats are to be expected.

Prudence would dictate that we try to push the moment that we do need to worry about terrorist attacks back as far as possible. Differing arguments can be made on the best way to do so. Accepting terrorism as the "new normal" is not an acceptable option.

We don't live without that threat. It just does not come from Muslims, as a general rule.

"Accepting terrorism as the "new normal" is not an acceptable option."

Nobody, and I mean not one person, has said we should accept terrorism.

"Tossing a lot of support behind radical Islam today I see. I still can't figure out why you libs support Islam so strongly after a terrorist attack and why you wish to use said attack as a reason to take away my 2nd amendment rights!"

I don't live in fear of terror attacks, I live in outrage to them. People don't intentionally die in car wrecks but terrorists intentionally kill innocents. I'm outraged at drunk drivers and texting drivers, those habits kill thousands but are social ills and not an ideology looking to garner support and radical members.

If your first inclination after a terror attack is it search for snarky analogies to deflect and defend Islam for political reasons, you are an equal part of the problem. YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN TRUMP COSYING UP TO THE ALT RIGHT! YOU OWN RADICAL ISLAM!

Gay men were single-handedly responsible for the AIDS epidemic. If we would have rounded them all up and quarantined them (and kept their things out of each others' rears) we could have avoided a lot of deaths.

Added benefit----Rage wouldn't consantly be posting his arrogant idiocy on what used to be an entertaining comment section here.

Meanwhile, on Saturday—the day of the London attacks—there were three firearm homicides in Baltimore, three in St. Louis, two in South Carolina, and one each in California, Georgia, Las Vegas, Louisiana and Alabama. A toddler who'd found a gun under a bed also accidentally killed himself in Pennsylvania, making for 14 total known gun violence deaths in the country on that day. (That's actually an unusually low daily total.)

Tell us all how you would have ID'd those individuals since medical professional originally had no idea what was wrong with the individuals suffering or how they contracted whatever it was they were suffering from?

And when did those happen? How many Islamic acts of terror since then????? Also, the Christian outrage at the abortion clinic bombings was palpable. So much so that radical Christian terror acts have vanished in western society! Moderate Muslims support terror.

12:12.... if you move your numbers to the last 20 years, does that move the needle for you? What if we change the foreign born to Islamic terrorist without regard to their place of birth? You can manipulate sub-sets and parameters to get the results you want but it doesn't give a very clear picture of the situation.

Leaving alone the silly attempt to create an equivalence between Christian terrorism and Islamic terrorism -- I'm surprised no one brought up the 800-years-ago Crusades -- what in the world makes this an either/or question?

Of course there are other acts of terrorism besides radical Islamic terrorism. My attitude about non-Islamic terrorism is exactly the same as it is toward the Islamic variety. Prevent, pursue, punish. If a group is conspiring to commit terrorism then monitor them, infiltrate them, stop them. That shouldn't be controversial.

What is controversial is ignoring known threats from barbarians. That's just suicide with a side of stupid.
